No, the guy is from the Italian subcontinent, also known as Sicily: and he “hand picked” an extra share of Italians to sacrifice to mask the few relatives and Ar Force buddies he “hand picked “ to save, so that nobody could call him out on the ****...
The body count will stop at 1050. Which relates with 65 to 75 airplanes grounded. Make your own math.
Take a comfortable seat, while you wait...

All 3 ME carriers rely heavily on the sub continent for traffic. India, as an example , @90000 single day positive cases for covid . Dubai single day @900 . Not sure traffic is going to return for some time as these numbers indicate possible lock down again . QR might be able to adapt better than EK because of fleet composition but still could be years! Take a guess at this point in time .

Anyone left out due to vacation etc and COVID ban think themselves lucky if they are with family and friends. If families separated then it’s goes with territory ..sorry. My suggestion Is get the family out ASAP and sell everything in sandpit, the goods furniture cars are no value anywhere else. Think long term another career, business anything but airlines and air travel. I always kept my family back home where rock solid grammar schools cheap cost of living and most of all law and order where you have protection (well sort of except USA).

Also noted They terminate Alkoot insurance on your departure from Qatar ...Most of the insurance back home needs 90 days grace period so I don't have any insurance in my home country. Instead of making sure they care about staff's health during these times they just kick you out of Qatar with no health insurance.
Just a new update from a friend, one of the whatsapp victims, he was made redundant at the beginning of July then suspended and kept without ANY communication and NO salary for more than a month in the accomodation, today, September 6 he's still waiting for his final settlement money, this is the way qatar airways treats ex employees, I would say a five star treatment, amazing right ? Considering that those guys went flying during their days off or while on leave just to help the company during the covid issue, congratulations Qatar Airways, you are truly a five star airline

I have a question in regard to Gratuity payment... I signed up for ISP and I noticed the way the calculated end of service benefit is wrong.
As an example, someone with a service period of 7 years and 9 months will receive 8 years of service ( (90 days termination notice).
gratuity pay @ 21 days basic salary for 1825 days ( 5 years) = 150,000 QR
Gratuity pay @ 28 days basic salary for 1095 days (3 years)=. 120,000 QR
Total =270,000 QR
They stopped contributing to ISP right after your termination so they won't be depositing any money to ISP for the 90 days termination.
And since ISP has outperformed and acquire interest since inception 2016.
So imagine this person has up until the last day of employment not 320,000 QR.
So according to Qatar airways, they won't have to add any gratuity pay since the amount is higher in your ISP account.

I can only suggest you visit the ZIO website to find out your total contributions and where you've invested your money into (investment strategy-you chose when you enrolled for ISP). What I do is check it most of the time and see whether I'm making money out of my present strategy in the short term. Then look at the options available on whether I can gain by changing it for the long term. This also shows me whether how much is the approximate value of my entire portfolio (Company contributions plus my additional contribution).
And by the way, your computation is based on those people who didn't get ISP (gratuity payment, based on EOSB without investing). As to the actual amount it varies I believe based on the additional contributions (5%, 10% or 15%) you have signed for and again the Investment Strategy you've chosen. But it would help a lot if you visit the website and from there you can print all your contributions plus the company's share and compare this to the actual value (surrender value) stated in your account.
Just my two cents. Hope this helps.

What I meant was , when they terminate you they are not going to pay the last three months of contribution (5% of your salary into the program) .they just going to calculate what they own you from old program

That should be in your final settlement surely. Pay in-lieu of notice. As you were made redundant the 90 days worth of allowances should be in final settlement?

I’m not sure that’s correct OW
The policy documents state that QR will continue to contribute towards the savings plan fund (fund A) up to the last calendar day of the previous month, prior to the last working day (LWD) of an Employee.

I have already received my final settlement, there is a column called "notice days paid 90 days" but this is not including the %5 mandatory contribution of the employer for the 90 days. So it's meant they won't pay you 15% of your salary contribution for the 90 days to ISP. When they terminate your contract they are not going to let you fly for them for the 90 days period. They just pay you upfront the three months.
If someone voluntarily quit the company then they will pay you up until your last working day but not when they terminate your contract. Which is sad.

mmorel,
I am not against you clarifying this with HR, but I think you misunderstood the "payment in lieu of - Notice Period (90 days)". The 5% is included in that payment which I assume would be your contribution. The company's share would be 10%, as far as I know since I check my ISP contribution every month.
You might be wondering why they didn't pay this 10%-company contribution to you (for this 90 days notice period)? My only answer is because of the "Payment in Lieu of" notice period. You don't really have a case regarding this, as you have been paid for that 90 days in Lieu of your services, meaning you can and you may leave the job without having to work for this 90 days. That's probably contrary to your understanding, but if it so, you may email them and find out yourself. goodluck

THanks Leemankin.
Yes , That was my question, my 10 % company contribution was around $1500 per month and it was not included in 90 days in Lieu of my service. I guess that's how it works.
Thanks for the clarification.
